microwaves, 12 mm Maps ``microwave background'' from the birth of the
universe (to be discussed later in this course.) [These data are from baloon
flights. There is better data from a satellite known as COBE].

microwaves, 5 mm Maps carbon monoxide, CO, in molecular clouds -- cool, dense clouds of gas and dust where new stars can form. Top map shows CO versus
galactic lattitude and longitude. Bottom map shows galactic longitude on
the horizontal axis and velocity toward us or away from us along the vertical axis.

X-rays, 4 to 8 nanometers. with six very bright sources excluded from the
map. It appears that there is a diffuse x-ray glow from all directions, with
less in the plane of the galaxy where the x-rays are absorbed by the gas that
resides there.
